gh-108172: do not override OS preferred browser if it is a super-string of a known browser (GH-113011) When checking if the registering browser is the "OS preferred browser", do not use a substring search - that makes no sense: one can have a preferred browser that looks like a super-string of a known browser, e.g. "firefox-nightly" vs "firefox". https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108172 explains in more detail, and lays out a potential better future enhancement for this case of just using xdg-open. We'll go with this for now. --------- Co-authored-by: Alex Waygood <[email protected]> files: A Misc/NEWS.d/next/Library/2023-12-12-15-19-58.gh-issue-108172.KyDPuG.rst M Lib/webbrowser.py diff --git a/Lib/webbrowser.py b/Lib/webbrowser.py index 6fca257c02664f..252ca92337e272 100644 --- a/Lib/webbrowser.py +++ b/Lib/webbrowser.py @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ def register(name, klass, instance=None, *, preferred=False): # Preferred browsers go to the front of the list. # Need to match to the default browser returned by xdg-settings, which # may be of the form e.g. "firefox.desktop". - if preferred or (_os_preferred_browser and name in _os_preferred_browser): + if preferred or (_os_preferred_browser and f'{name}.desktop' == _os_preferred_browser): _tryorder.insert(0, name) else: _tryorder.append(name) diff --git a/Misc/NEWS.d/next/Library/2023-12-12-15-19-58.gh-issue-108172.KyDPuG.rst b/Misc/NEWS.d/next/Library/2023-12-12-15-19-58.gh-issue-108172.KyDPuG.rst new file mode 100644 index 00000000000000..5c6b9cd3f81a21 --- /dev/null +++ b/Misc/NEWS.d/next/Library/2023-12-12-15-19-58.gh-issue-108172.KyDPuG.rst @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +``webbrowser`` honors OS preferred browser on Linux when its desktop entry name contains the text of a known browser name. _______________________________________________ Python-checkins mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-checkins.python.org/ Member address: [email protected]
